War in Europe.

Yet il a general war does occur on
the Eastern continent the United
States will certainly not suffer from
a material point OF view. The belliger-
erents will look mainly to us to sup
ply their wants Our shipping interests
will revive and the stars and stripes
will not be so rarely seen as they now
are on the seas and in foreign ports.
Our securities will be sought more
eagerly than ever. All Europe will re-
ly upon US as its market. Our broad
acres will team with golden grain
while foreign fields are trodden by
armed men and soddened by blood.
We shall grow stronger as other na-
tions grow weak. We shall grow rich
while other nations grow poor.
1t is proofof our unselfshness and
OF our sympathy with suffering hu-
manity that in spite OF all this we do
desire to see peace prevail IN Europe

A Minnesota Constable in Danger


DULUTH, Mimi, March 1O.-Some
days ago Finland Miner was burned
to death in Jail at Tower, MINI. The
feeling against Constable Freeman,
who confined him, was very bitter,
and eliminated Monday by an armed
body of $50 miners marching over
from the Breitung mining location one
mile distant, threatening to shoot the
constable on sight. The enraged men
found Constable Flower and the Tower
citizens on guard. All the saloons
were kept closed and guarded. The
conflict which seemed imminent was
happily avoided by cooler counsels.
The Finlanders seemed to think that
the constable murdered the prisoner
aud set fire to the jail to conceal the
crime. Constable Freeman is in Du-
luth, and will not 60 back TO Tower,
as bis life is in danger.

A Result Of Economy.

The CINCINNATI Farmer gives The
following interesting experience which
appeals to the common sense of every
farmer and all other men:
eve ncw support a nice mich COW.
How did we get her? Bought her?
Paid $40 for her, the whole amount
being 10 cents per day savings since
March q, 1886. On that day a friend
OF ours insisted on treating us to n
smoke as it was our birthday, but we
refused the kindness, informing him,
c~ourteously, that we had never smoked
a cigar, to which he replied that he
averaged from one TO three per day,
at a cost of 5 to 20 cents each dav
and that he never missed the small
change. We told him then that from
that day on we would lay away 10
cents per day as long as we were able
to do so and see how much it would
amount to each year. We have kent
it up to date, and as a consequence.
We have a fine Durham COW and calf
bought with four hundred ten-cent
pieces. Small business isn't? Well.
properly kept it will result in some.
thing large, and while our friend who.
no doubt, will see this can show moth.
ing for his 13 months of smoking but
cigar stubs, and, perhaps, impaired
health, we can show a good COW and
cali worth $45 in cash.

SALVATION OF TORTURE.

Geographic Descriptions OF q Scene In India.
From the crowd at the door a wild
figure broke forth, tore off his upper
clothing till he was naked TO the waist,
and throwing away his fez, barred a
head close-shaven save for one long
and disheveled lock that, s~pringing
from the scalp, fell Over his forehead
like some grisly and funereal plume.
A long knife, somewhat resembling a
cutiass, was handed to him by the
sheik, who had risen to his feet and
who directed the phenomena that en-
sued. Waving it wildly above his
head and protruding the forepart Of
his figure, the fanatic brought it down
blow after blow against his barred
stomach, and drew it savRgely to and
fro against the unprotected skin.
There showed the marks OF a long and
livid veal, but no blood spurted from
the cash. In the intervals between
the strokes he ran swiftly from one
sideto the other of the open space, tax
ing long stealthy strides, like q pan
ther about to- spring, and seemingly
SO powerless over his own movements
that he knocked plindly up against
those who stood in his way, nearly
upsetting them with the violence OF
the collision. The prowess or piety
Of this ardent devotee proved extra

Thus transfixed, and holding the
weapon aioft, he strobe swiftly up
and down. Suddenly, at a signal, he
fell on his knees, still forcing the point
into his body and keeping the wooden
head uppermost. Then there started
up another disciple armed with a big
wooden mallet, and he, after a few
preliminary taps, rising high on tip

an appalling yell, bring it down with
all his force upon the wooden knob,
driving the point home through the

AKicker Cant he Killed.

From The Lafayette (6a.) Messenger.
"You can't kill a mule" This SAYING
was demonstrated to a mathematical
certainty near Center's shop recently.
Acolored boy was plonghing ''goobers'
for MI. Center. In the corner OF the
goober patch was an old well at least
thirty feet deep, covered with briars.
In turning the mule slipped and went
to the bottom. He took his position
in a sitting posture and was the un.
willing monarch OF all he SURVEYED"
until his excited owner summoned
posse to his aid. A rope was tied
around the body of the mule and he
was drawn to the top ofthe well. The
rope broke and the mule again vert
to the other end of the well. A sec.
ond attempt was successful. The
mule was safely landed<on the outside
OF the well, and, contrary to the ex.
pectatIons of his rescuers, leaped to
his feet and, without giving the slight.
est expression OF gratitude began feed
ing on grass as though nothing had
happened. The plough gear was de-
moiished and the old well was slightly
damaged.
